Summary
This document is page 9 of a court transcript filed on September 3, 2019, concerning the Epstein case (1:19-cr-00490-RMB). The text details a legal argument regarding the 'rule of abatement,' debating whether proceedings/forfeiture should cease after a defendant's death, especially in light of the Crime Victims' Rights Act. The speaker concludes that if abatement applies to convicted defendants (citing the Wright case), it applies even more strongly to Epstein, who died during the pretrial phase.
